Automatically shifted manual transmissions

[V10ToGo]

Someone recently mentioned that he was waiting for the automatically shifted manual transmission to be a reality. It seems to be in the works now at D-C for the Ram trucks - probably for 2010 - 2012, and possibly "reducing zero to sixty times by 1-2 seconds." Here's a discussion on the possibilities and some interesting patents D-C has taken out recently:

Yea, I found this info referenced from Sema.

Would be interested in purchasing a spare tranny with this technology. I prefer to shift but for drag racing, it would be a nice drop in mod.
